❄️ It’s our very first Two Show Day for Elf the Musical! ❄️
(Or as we lovingly call it in the theatre community: a Two Doe Shay) 🎭

Normally, performing a 10 a.m. student matinee for the students of northern Indiana and then turning around to do it all again for the public at night would be an exhausting challenge…

…but at Wagon Wheel, you already know our performers are simply built different. 😉💪

We’ll see you at 7:00 tonight! 🎄

⭐️ Wagon Wheel’s 2nd Annual ‘Great Performances, Greater Purpose’ Year-End Gala ⭐️

📸

12/12/2025

Last night, our community gathered with a spirit and generosity that moved us more than we can say. In just one evening, YOU raised $33,058 toward our Year-End Giving campaign goal of $100,000. ⭐

We’re still searching for the right words, and maybe we never will, but please know this: we are deeply grateful. Your belief in this legacy, in our artists, and in the work we do for our community means more than we can express. 💙

To everyone who joined us for our 2nd annual Great Performances, Greater Purpose Year-End Gala: thank you. The night was a beautiful reminder of what’s possible when generosity, community, and a shared love for the arts come together. We’re honored to do this work with you by our side. 🤝

There truly is no place like Wagon Wheel. 🎪

🧁 It’s International Sarah Anne Day! 🎂 Today we celebrate someone who keeps Wagon Wheel shining from the inside out. Not only is Sarah Anne our Front of House and Administrative Manager, she is the heart behind so many of the moments that make this place feel like home.

Sarah Anne brings passion to her work in a way that uplifts everyone around her. She greets our patrons with warmth, supports our staff with patience and grace, and somehow always knows when someone needs a smile, a laugh, or a quiet moment to just breathe. 🩵

She shows up fully every day, even on the tough ones, and her dedication to creating a welcoming, joyful environment inspires all of us to do the same. Her kindness is steady, her work ethic is unstoppable, and her impact is felt in every corner of this building.

We are incredibly grateful for all she does and even more grateful for who she is. Happy Birthday to someone who makes Wagon Wheel brighter simply by being here. 🎉
